-no airbags or ABS also means no recalls for airbags and ABS like the false promise of working airbags and ABS in Toyota. All your unsafe fantasies about Geo Metro never materialized like the very real unsafety of Toyota who still hasn’t apologized (or aporogized) for all those serious injuries caused by the Camry Hybrid alone. Or better yet go worry about Ford being caught with their pants down on the new F150. Guess they didn’t think the other models would be tested, so lets save a few bucks on appropriate materials to save lives. Ford should be ashamed of itself, as should GM. I’m not here to argue the merits of the Metro vs. the Toyota. But to claim that the Metro is somehow better than modern cars because it didn’t have ABS or airbags is nuts. The Metro rated “poor” in crash ratings for it’s time. If it was tested today, there would need to be a new category: “death trap. Many can’t drive a manual transmission or get into a car that’s too small or too low, plus the vehicle needs to have enough room to carry a walker or fold-up wheel chair. I’ve seen some small cars that are too light and small to even mount a rack for a manual wheelchair, forget trying to take along the lightest of the electric scooters. Source: www.autoguide.com
